Does anyone BMX?

*I'm sorry if there is a thread on this, I tried searching and nothing came up* Hey, I'm in class right now and my thoughts wandered off and began to wonder if any other lacrosse players were BMX riders? Not racing, I mean riding street, hitting hand rails and going to skateparks.
If you do I would love to see pictures of your bikes, and the specs on it! I will try and get a picture of my ride asap. For now she is:
07 sunday 2nd wave(?) Ian schwartz edition
Salt forks
Eclat ashley charles bars with odi longnecks
Some salt front wheel, can't remember the model
An odyssey 7ka back rim, 48 hole, laced to an odyssey hazard hub
Wethepeople cranks, black label pedals
Can't remember what bottom bracket...
Macneil seat
a salt stem
Odyssey pegs,
Odyssey back tire, wethepeople front tire
That's all I think...
So please guys, post up! Thanks, have a great day.

Re: Does anyone BMX?

Been meaning to pick one up soon. It's been a few years since I've ridden anything besides road bikes haha. I almost want to pick up a dirt jumping bike instead, though. Decisions, decisions...

Its too much fun, as long as you're careful and don't do anything too stupid. If I were you, I'd pick up a 24" frame instead of a 26" dirt jumping frame, and put rigid forks on it. That way, you get the best of both worlds!

I have a close-to-stock WTP reason, the teal model from 2010 (?). I've been seriously considering switching to mountain biking, as my small rural upstate NY town is surrounded by hills. The street riding here is lame, and the skatepark just got fenced in due to scumbags smashing glass bottles.

Laxkeeper45 - You can get some pretty nice bikes for a couple hundred dollars nowadays, I would look into eastern. They are a good beginner - intermediate bike. You don't have to build your bike, but you can upgrade parts eventually as the break. It doesn't have to be an expensive sport!

BNYlax40 - Riding any bike in general is a great time. I have a couple older high end mountain bikes that are fun, but I mainly bmx. It really is a shame when people have to ruin things for everyone else.

Its a lot of fun cruising around your town with your friends, hitting spots.
If anyone is looking to buy a bike, look on pinkbike dot com, lots of people selling their bikes. Its pretty much tlf, but for bikes.

I used to have pretty much every part on danscomp memorized with their prices, weights if listed and some specs. Arguably my best biking related achievment.

This was a couple years ago and I didn't have a car but even if you couldn't get a ride or stay local, riding to the spots was actually kind of more fun. 5 miles away there's a concrete park with two bowls and just carving those for hours when it wasn't crowded were some damn good times but watching was almost as entertaining. With crazies huckin backflips for an Arizona iced tea or something there were some wild slams.

Working on and looking at the nicest setups or parts was a lot like lacrosse. I had a purple fit hawk v2 frame with mostly red parts and an black one before that that went through a whole bunch of setups from swapping with other guys. Even though I wasn't riding that much, I really miss it. I'd get one but I've Been putting most of my spare cash into developing new products for you damn lacrosse players.
